Strange quark star with Tolman IV background

Abstract

In the present article, we have studied the behaviour of static, spherically symmetric, anisotropic stellar models within the framework of MIT Bag model in the Tolman IV background. Different physical properties like energy conditions, stability, compactness factor and surface red-shift are investigated through graphical plots and mathematical calculations. The interior solutions found are non-singular in nature, i.e., regular at the centre. The interior spherically symmetric solutions have been matched to an exterior Schwarzschild geometry.
